I've asked dad for some restaurant ratings. Lets see what he has for us...

I know when to ask for assistance, so I've asked my dad to write some restaurant ratings of the places in South Africa he knows. He is, in my opinion, a great authority in eating out. He's been many places I haven't been and I think he's got some good pieces of insiders info. This is what he has to say:

My name is Louis van der Linde. Eating out is a hobby of my wife Leone and I. We have been travelling internationally for the last 25 years and have visited (and are still visiting) restaurants around the world. Our travels have taken us from some of the best restaurants in America and Europe, to small coffee shops under a tent with plastic chairs at Ankor Wat in Cambodia.

Because we see so many restaurants, Vintzent and Yolande asked us to review some restaurants for their website, and we are happy to do so and will have a lot of fun, together with you, as we live through some great restaurant experiences together. We are by no means professional food critiques - we are just ordinary folk, enjoying good food and wine, and we will give you our honest opinion about the food, the experience, the owners or managers and whether we think it is value for money.
